I completley agree with OP, sharing exclusives is only pro consumer on the surface but it really isnt if you look at the whole picture. This practice is slowly killing consoles and without them you wouldnt see all these exclusives being made in the first place. Nintendo and Sony wouldnt make all these games if it wouldnt be for spending 300-500$ on a new device for the consumer.

I remember a time where you had dozzens of consoles in the 90s, plus PC and home computer as well as the arcades. All these platforms had their own exclusives and as a result you had more games overall. Today pc and consoles share all the same games, and by far they all have a lot less games overall than previous Gens.

Instead of sharing exclusives how about that MS actually makes some new ones? Their press e3 conference really lacked new exclusive anouncments except for Forza which was excepted anyways

You should probably tell console manufacturers to stop making consoles into PC's then, because that is exactly what they are trying to become, this gen has had them switching their architecture to a level that PC uses along with trying to emulate whatever a PC has done in the past and does today.

Just because they use x86 doesnt make them PCs, or do you think Apple Macs are also PCs? How does that make sense?

Did you also called the Sega Megadrive a Homecomputer or PC?

Besides those bolded parts, you made no mention at all of backwards compat, you mentioned exclusives and funding, having less games these days than in the past which is entirely false.

Second part: Yes it does, because they share the same space as a PC within the same architecture. The fact that console games need patches a lot including system absed ones as well as downloading said games, installing them and using other functions like the web broswer, media and music playback very much makes them more PC like today than they were like a plug and play console from the NES/SNES days. Back then all you had a console for was to play just games and only games, no media, no music, no movies, no browser, no patches or downloads, no nothing that a PC could and still does to this day. You can deny it all you want with every fiber of your being but consoles today are trying to become more PC like by the years that go by. Until consoles stop trying to emulate what a PC does on a gaming or general every day basis then they will still be trying to be that which they were not. 

Sega megadrive was not a PC, it didn't do everything the PS4 does today (besides one single model version that tried to do Audio CD playback but we all know which version was the one that wasn't used as one).
